Farmer77 Posted March 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The hiring of John Bolton should be the final nail in the "drain the swamp" coffin. The Untold Story of John Bolton’s Campaign for War With Iran Quote But the strong likelihood that Donald Trump will now choose John Bolton as his next national security advisor creates a prospect of war with Iran that is very real. Bolton is no ordinary neoconservative hawk. He has been obsessed for many years with going to war against the Islamic Republic, calling repeatedly for bombing Iran in his regular appearances on Fox News, without the slightest indication that he understands the consequences of such a policy. John Bolton: No Regrets On Iraq War Quote At least one prominent neocon is still defending President George W. Bush’s decision to invade Iraq, even as the president’s own brother is backtracking in his support. John Bolton, Bush’s U.N. ambassador, told the Washington Examiner that he still believed the war was worth it.

+and-then Posted March 23, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Looks like a shot across the bow, to me. Good deal. It's well past time for the mullahs to realize their free hand in world affairs just got a lot less strong. Those who squirm and chafe at the exercise of power are like children in an adult world, IMO. Obama guaranteed a war with Iran and potentially, a global conflagration all because of his hatred for Netanyahu. I hope that if America IS struck with a nuke someday, he happens to be close enough to burn. No one is more deserving.

Do you understand that removing him isn't something that can be done politically OR legally until his term is over? It's an obsession and it's going to be funny to watch you guys twist in the wind and continue to shriek like little girls seeing a spider too close when it all falls apart on you.

Hankenhunter Posted March 23, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I am far from a fan of Iran, but declaring war to distract from your crimes shows a total lack of humanity. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a little rule that states a sitting president can't be removed in times of war? I'm sure I read that somewhere.

(among others) Quote Bolton’s high-profile advocacy of war with Iran is well known. What is not at all well known is that, when he was under secretary of state for arms control and international security, he executed a complex and devious strategy aimed at creating the justification for a U.S. attack on Iran. Bolton sought to convict the Islamic Republic in the court of international public opinion of having a covert nuclear weapons program using a combination of diplomatic pressure, crude propaganda, and fabricated evidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is very little necessity to put troops on the ground in order to devastate a enemy nation. That said, I don't believe in going to war just for going to war. If Iran floats a ship over to the mainland US and invades Savannah Georgia, then I'm all in favor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course if forced to attack I would choose this method to save American lives but if done so preemptively I would consider it mass murder - just like I do what we did in Iraq, Syria and Libya. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many who want to see an end to the rule of the mullahs in Iran. Are you deliberately being as provocative as possible now just to get a response,or have you really become an insanely belligerent neocon, spluttering fire and fury? If you really are being serious, shall we try to think about this; many Iranians that you know personally want to see an end to the rule of the Mad Mullahs in Iran. Now, how many of these brave Iranian freedom fighting patriots that you know personally actually live in Iran? Many? Or are most of them living in expatriate enclaves in British Columbia? So these freedom fighters wouldn't be at much risk of being annihilated in drone strikes or by Mothers of All Bombs if the current president was to take your advice. On the other hand, many tens of thousands of the poor oppressed Iranians would . Why don't people try to think before being so utterly stupid? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
